Description of problem:
No idea why/how it began.
Seems to have started two days.
Tried deleting $HOME/.openoffice but it didn't change anything.

pre-crash gdb log. (osl_loadModule -> osl_psz_loadModule. )

" #13 0x00000033c4e2ec04 in osl_psz_loadModule (pszModuleName=0x1 <Address 0x1
out of bounds>,
       nRtldMode=<value optimized out>) at module.c:136"

Without looking into the code, I can't really understand what's going on... but
something goes horribly wrong between osl_loadModule and osl_psz_loadModule. 

Check the gdb session log below.

hmm, most strange, simply looks like it is blowing up on dlopening
/usr/lib64/openoffice.org2.0/program/typemgr.uno.so . Perhaps make a backup of
that library and extract that lib from the original rpms with cd /tmp/foome &&
rpm2cpio *core.rpm|cpio -ivd and copy it into
/usr/lib64/openoffice.org2.0/program and see if that makes a difference.
Comment 4 Gilboa Davara 2007-05-19 13:04:17 UTC 
I remove the offending openoffice package (openoffice.org-core) and reinstalled
it and it seems to be working just fine now.
Weird!

Any idea what went wrong?

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2007-05-19 17:21:52 UTC 
perhaps it was prelink that triggered the problem, it rewrites some libraries.
Maybe a manual /usr/sbin/prelink -av -mR to force prelink to happen on the
freshly installed .sos might recreate the state OOo was in before the reinstall
of the libraries ? If it breaks right after the prelink then this might be the
trigger of the problem, otherwise I have no idea.
Comment 6 Gilboa Davara 2007-05-20 09:16:11 UTC 
I re-tried running prelink but didn't see anything blow up.
The machine is being used for driver development - it is entirely possible that
it crashed while prelink was running, breaking OO.

Anyways, thanks for help.

... Should I close the BZ#?
